VidantaWorld, Grupo Vidanta’s ambitious tourism megaproject in Nuevo Vallarta, continues to advance with its BON (Beauty of Nature) theme park, scheduled to fully open in 2026 after a private pre-opening phase that began in August 2023.
The luxury park, planned for over 150 hectares, will feature 23 attractions, 25 restaurants, and 16 boutiques, as well as high-end accommodations and shows such as Cirque du Soleil’s new aquatic show, LUDÕ, which will debut in November 2025.
The park’s design and development are enriched by the collaboration of world leaders—Cirque du Soleil, Vekoma, Mack Rides, and Intamin—which will result in innovations such as the Tecuani Beast roller coaster, the first double-launch roller coaster in Latin America, with six inversions and speeds of up to 105 km/h.
Completing the offering are the SkyDream cable car, the Ferris Wheel, Family-friendly areas like Kids Cove and dark rides like Eternity, offering comprehensive entertainment for all generations.
Compared to Disney’s resorts in the United States, VidantaWorld stands as a direct competitor, not so much for its overall size but for its distinctive approach to luxury and exclusivity. Unlike Disney’s theme parks, the focus is on offering a comprehensive experience: resort, park, golf, entertainment, and spa, all within a single closed circuit that emphasizes “luxury for all generations.”
Although Disney maintains leadership in branding, storytelling, and scale, Vidanta seeks to differentiate itself with a high-end offering that, according to its proponents, could rival it in prestige and sophistication, if not in mass reach.
With its upcoming opening, VidantaWorld aims to become a global tourism destination, a model for real estate and economic development in their regions, such as Disneyland Anaheim and Disney World Orlando.
In the coming months, with the addition of LUDÕ and the full completion of BON, it will be possible to assess whether it can surpass any of Disney’s giants in terms of experience and reach.
